The farmers are now busily engaged in
harvesting their wheat, which is not a
very large crop in this section, but what
is made is very good, as there has been
no rust or other blight to injure it. Crops
are looking finely, and everybody seem
cheerful oyer the bright prospect of an
abundant harvest.
Mr.. e. K. Miller, of Arkadelphia, Ar
kansas, after an absence of two and half
years. has returned to his old home in
this section. His many friends are glad
to have him in their midst once more,
but deeply sympathise with him in his
sore bereavement, caused by the death Of
his wife and son, which occurred just be-
fore he left Arkansas.
Miss Mamie Mattison is visiting friends
in Abbeville County. We hope she may
have quite pleasant trip.
The Sunday School at fuckers Cross
Roads, under the superintendency of Mr..

It has purchased handsome organ,
which adds greatly to the music and the
general interest of the school.
The day schools of this section are hav-
ing vacation now, and will not begin
their next session until after the Institute,
which some of our teachers are looking
forward to with great deal of interest.
While this section can boast of large
majority in favor of prohibition, We are
sorry to say there are a few antics. Now,
it is not strange to see an old tippler, or
even one who hos never made any pro-
fession of religion, refuse to sign petit
tion asking for All election, nor would I
be surprised to see them actually vote
against prohibition but for the life Of me

Mr.. EDITOR 1t was the pleasure of you,
correspondent to witness the cl5sing exer.
cises, on Friday last, of the Belton school
taught by Mr.. w. E. Breazeale. On this
occasion there were no special exercises
other than some formal presentations to
Mr.. Breaseals BY the.boys and girls of the
school. Miss Rosa Poore and Warren
Wilkes, in behalf of the girls and boys, re-
spectively, made the presentation. The
gifts were beautiful and useful, testifying
trathfully the valuable work done. When
the final farewell came, all were in tears
loath to separate from the teacher whom
they love and respect. The Bolton school
has certainly never had more acceptable
teacher. We sincerely hope our local trus-
tees, assisted by the Commissioner, shall
select competent and worthy successor
Mr.. Breazeale leaves, about July 1st, for
the University of Virginia, to pursue a
special course in Civil Engineering. We
long for the day when the compensation CT
the teacher shall not be such az to drive
known competency from the school-room'

cially deacons of the church, can refuse
to sign petition that just simply gives
every qualified voter of, this County a
chance to come out and say whethor he
wants prohibition or not. Of course such
an act means aDti-prohibition. 1t can't
mean anything else. I fear some of our
churches have been too lax in their ex-
animation of men for this Office. They
surely have not needed the warning given
by Paul. Every christian in this ard
I.aurens County, should arise and exert
themselves to carry the election for prohi-

From the Hartwell Sun.

We are Informed that some of our lead.
ing farmers are agitating the idea of hav.
ing grand reunion among the farmers
of Hart County at Hartwell on Friday
before the third Sunday in August, in the
shape of grand old fashioned barbecue
to which all of the farmers are requested
to contribute. We like the idea. II

The crow was permitted to remain in the
trap a few days, when buzzard came 10
the feast and was caught in the other trap.
Game seems to be plentiful and variegated

Dead In tho Woods.

Mr.. C. z. Wi)liford, well known
citizen of Rock Mills Township, in this
County, was found dead in a piece OF
woods in the neighborhood of his house
on last Sunday at about two o'clock in
the afternoon. He had gone on Friday
afternoon to visit neighbor, and thence
started across the plantation to another
neighbor's, after which he was not seen
again until found dead as stated above.
His absence on Friday night created no
uneasiness, as he was supposed to be vis-
iting neighbor. When he failed to re-
turn on Saturday morning the family
supposed he had come to this City and
would return that night. Nothing being
seen or heard of him that evening, they
became very uneasy, and early next morn
ing searching parties were organized, and
thorough enquiry and search were made,
which resulted in finding his body in a
dense piece of woods near the house he
had been visiting. The body was far ad-
vanced in decomposition, the face being
black beyond recognition. There was
evidence in the leaves that he had fallen
from twenty to thirty steps from the place
his body lay, and the track along which
he crawled was plainly to be seen. Trial
Justice B. F. Shirley was at once noti-
fed and summoned jury of inquest.
DR.. r. g. Witherspoon, skillful and ex-
perienced physician, made the post NOR
tenn examination, and found no evidence
of foul play in any way. The Jury of in
quest returned verdict that the deceased
come to his death from appoplexy. This,
however, was speculation, and upon it
there is much difference of opinion, many
believing that heart disease was the cause,
while still others think 1t was sun.stroke.
1t is contended that if appoplexy were
the cause he could not have moved SO far
after the rigor of the attack set in. Mr..
Williford was for many years a success
full merchant at Williford's Store, in this
County, and had accumulated comfor-
table property, the greater part of which
was swept away by the results of the war.
He was near seventy years of age, and

His remains were inferred in Roberts

The Leaf Tobacco Situation.

The Louisville Courier Journal pub
fishes comprehensive and valuable
review of the leaf tobacco situation,
showing the facts of the yield and sup
ply against tho averages OF consump-
ton. When it is considered that Ken
lucky produces 81 per cent. OF the total
leaf tobacco crop of the United States.
and Kentucky, Isdiana, Illinois. Ten
nessee, Ohio and Missouri produce "a
per cent. of the total crop of the United
States, it will be seen that the sum-
mary is of general interest. The fol-
lowing are the main points of the az
ticle:
The Western leaf crop foots up &c.
900. 900 pounds, or rs per cent. of re.
cent averages, and the Eastern leaf
crop 100000 pounds, or 80
per cent. decrease. The Eastern
and Western leaf crops and
all the market stocks of the
United States. make up $50, 600, 900
pounds against 591, COO, 0O0a year ago.
and SIS 600. 900 two years ago. Tho
supply from the new crops and market
stocks falls 21l,oOo.o 900 pounds below
the late average takings for domestic
and foreign consumption, while in
1886 there was a surplus of 2S,C0o, 600
pounds. and in 1885 a surplus of "a. =
100000. The Western hurley crop is
$1,000, 900 pounds. and the dark and
heavy crop 80. 100000.
In conclusion the review states: In
this historical year of the tobacco
trade Louisville has much more than
maintained her former pre-eminence
as the principal tobacco market of the
United States and, indeed, of the
world. The business done here in
1887 materially surpasses in magni-
tude that Of all other years, including
that of the Jubilee year-1So5
